After considering his options, Dat decided to study Psychology from Denison University. His scholarship is worth more than 2.4 billion VND.

Ever since becoming a student at APU, Dat has sought ways to shape his dream of becoming a psychologist by working hard and investing time in accumulating knowledge. APU was the perfect place for him to do this. Dat tells us “The teachers at APU and Dr. Thy Binh are the biggest inspirations for me to be more confident in pursuit of my dreams. In particular, the American standard program at APU as well as the CBP credits at APU helped me graduate 1 year earlier than my peers and receive scholarships for direct admission to many universities without ever having to take the SAT or IELTS.”

Dat's achievements once again add to the list of remarkable achievements of APU alumni. Among them are Dinh Khang Hy, APU alumnus of 2010 class, PhD student, who currently teaches at Tufts University (Top 28 best universities in the US).
